it has a pcie slot so i dont think it really matters if the memory on a dedicated graphic card is dd2/ddr3 so yes you can

Mine came full of ram but not a good gaming pc. It won't accept any high end graphics cards.

Yes- we recommend we upgrade the card for you. We could add a 3.2 Ghz CPU, and the ATI Radeon 5870 for a combined charge of $200.00. Let us know if interested. Otherwise, these are very easily upgradeable. Thanks!

Hi Laura, We don't have anything proprietary on the machine so as long as the card and power supply fit in the chassis (and it should), you should be able to upgrade both easily :)

Your computer should be plenty powerful enough to run it, especially once you upgrade the RAM. You may want to double check elsewhere, however. This GPU works as a low power gaming GPU and work GPU for me. I am upgrading but it will work well with your specs.

You should be able to upgrade your graphics card in the future. Just insure that your computer meets the card requirements.

I am not sure if it's possible to upgrade to the latest technology, it has limited slots and physical internal space to add memory, upgrade processor and so on.. I sold this computer already cause it is discontinued but when I asked that question the geeksquad [best buy] estimated around $400 if you provide the parts..

As long as your laptop has 2 ddr3 dimm slots you should be fine but I don't see how ram is going to improve graphics, your laptop has a i5 2430m with intel hd 3000, ram can't help you there.

The processor is out of production - I don't have any - Try ebay. For memory, you should be able to find them at Fry's, or most PC shops - it's best to use 2 DDR3 4Gb sticks to max it out at 8Gb.

Yo I own this comp, its expandable to 8gb ddr 3 ram. I tend to like kingston but im still a noob to such things

Well it depends on the power supply. More than Likely you will have to upgrade the psu. You could possibly stick in a radeon 5450 1g ddr3 without changing out the psu. Or upgrade the psu and get a radeon 6670.

Are you referring to the CPU by any chance? To be honest I'm not entirely sure. But I believe you could probably find another processor to replace the one that comes with it, since you can get access to most parts by taking the bottom off of the computer. But I just replaced the RAM to upgrade from 1 to 2 gb. I am by no means a computer expert, I just know my way around the internet. :)

to change the ram you need to pull the dvd drive . as for graphics card , there are two slots . one of them is behind the power unit , the other just above . the two slots pci x1 half height . which limits you to about two graphics cards which are not particularly effective . if you want to game , and put a graphics card into something .... buy something else . for the average adult that just dinks around on the net , or uses for work this is great for that . gaming you will be disappointed .

Heather is correct - but almost always RAM has a standard. You have to buy the correct type, but it is not proprietary. To fully upgrade this computer's RAM, buy this: Corsair 4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 1333 MHz (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory (CMV4GX3M1A1333C9)

Hi John. This computer could be a decent gaming machine if you do the following. Add a 64 bit OS to it. Then add like 8GB of ram. Now your talking! However your card with an i5 or i7. Is insane dual core processors vs quad cores for gaming will produce a lot more frames per seconds. I hope that helped and sorry for the typos.

its a full sized tower, u might need upgrade the power supply, but all that and even watercooling would fit, its a roomie case, just need to upgrade powersupply if your tossin in a decent graphics card

You can definitely upgrade it to 16GB.There are two pairs of ram card slots.one pair of slots is easy to get to and the other...Not so much, If you are confident in your computer dis-assembly and reassembly skillsthan you should be fine (But I believe it might void the warranty if you take your computer apart that much) Upgrading to 32GB which would be 4 X 8GB cards in the laptop.So to recap,It maxes at 32GB it's just hard to get to the last 2 slots.
